If you followed how recruiting went with the 2026 quarterback class, you saw early commitments flying off that board. It’s a trend we see happening with the 2027 class as well.
Quarterbacks always committed early in the process to lock their spot in. Early used to mean play out your junior season and then commit in the offseason, before your senior year.
In the 2026 class, eight of the top 10 signal-callers and 10 of the top 12 already pulled the trigger before playing a junior-season snap.
Early on, Huntington Beach (Calif.) sophomore Brady Edmunds is rated by 247Sports as the No. 14 overall prospect and No. 2 quarterback in the 2027 class.
He told us recently that he plans to cut his offer list to a final five in the next couple of weeks and is planning to make his decision later in the year.
Edmunds had a strong offseason and camped with several schools — including Texas, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State — and each that he threw for offered. Notre Dame remains high on his list and the local school, UCLA, just offered over the weekend.
